The Pat Hurley neighborhood was once part of the village of Atrisco (from the Nahuatl word “Atlixco,” meaning “upon the water”). The village was founded in 1700, before Albuquerque.
It was part of a Spanish land grant which was 82,000 acres at its largest, stretching between the Rio Grande and the Rio Puerco and between Interstate 40 and Gun Club Road. Atrisco continued to be a farming community throughout the 19th century.
The Pat Hurley neighborhood and park were named after Patrick Jay Hurley, a lawyer who served as President Hoover's Secretary of War. Pat Hurley was the father of Wilson Hurley, one of the Southwest’s most prominent landscape painters (Pat Hurley Albuquerque Neighborhood Q3 Walking Tour Series, 2006).
The Pat Hurley Neighborhood Association was first recognized in 1994, and was restarted in 2022 after being inactive for several years.
All renters, home owners, business owners, and property owners within our boundaries may become members of the neighborhood association by simply completing a membership form. No dues are required to attend meetings, vote, or participate in neighborhood events.
